Upsolar Sponsors “Dancing Flowers” Art Installation in Zaragoza


ZARAGOZA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Upsolar, a leading international provider of solar PV modules, is now sponsoring the “Dancing Flowers” exhibit at the Center for Sustainable Urban Valdespartera. For the next several years, the solar-powered kinetic installation will greet visitors to the Center.
 
Artist Alexandre Dang has created dozens of solar-powered kinetic art exhibits to raise awareness of issues including sustainability and child welfare. His installations have reached millions of viewers in high-traffic locations including the European Parliament and the Royal Palace of Brussels. Since Dang focuses on starting the renewable energy conversation at a young age, the artist designs lively projects that are also able to engage children.

“I’m looking to trigger public discussion on solar energy and promote widespread use of this renewable resource,” said Dang. “With two square centimeters of solar cells, you can move a flower. With many panels – each only one square meter – you can power a home. Imagine if all of our rooftops were covered in solar; you could move the world.”

Upsolar was drawn to Dang’s playful approach to raising energy awareness. The company believes that supporting visionaries like Dang is critical to communicating the value of solar energy and to growing its implementation.

“We support Alexandre’s effort to reach out in a way that truly anyone can understand,” commented Upsolar CEO Zhe Jiang, “The ongoing exhibit in Zaragoza is compelling for all on-lookers, and its value remains in its ability to prompt people into rethinking the potential of the limitless energy from the sun.”
